Fauré: La bonne chanson & other songs

Fauré's songs represent his art at its most radiant,
demonstrating the composer's exceptional gift for
melody as well as his acute sensitivity to the
subtleties of the greatest French poets of the day.
In 'La bonne chanson', the result is a song cycle
like few others: an ecstatic hymn to the beloved
(the composer's mistress) which celebrates the
triumph of love. Here, it provides a glorious
opening to Nicky Spence and Julius Drake's
all-Fauré recital.
